While they have a pretty good idea of your skills from your CV, transcripts, and references, the interviewers at the medical genetics residency program you are interviewing with ask this question to see if you have the clinical skills and qualities they seek in a new resident. They want to hear that you are self-aware and confident enough to identify and describe your strengths.

"The three clinical strengths I would bring to your medical genetics residency program are my investigative prowess, my ability to work cohesively with a large team of clinicians, and my overall compassion for the patients I care for. Over the last four years, I've tried to let my strengths determine my best path to success in medicine, and I'm confident that joining your residency program is the right move for me."

Before your interview, think of three strengths that will help you succeed as a medical genetics resident and bring value to the program you are interviewing with. You can talk about a strength or two that directly applies to success in clinical genetics, like having excellent analytical skills. You can also talk about general clinical strengths, like your generous compassion.
